# Returns

The Returns resource in the Digital River API allows businesses to handle returning items from an order. It supports full and partial returns, offering flexibility in managing customer requests to return goods. This resource allows businesses to process returns, initiate refunds, and update inventory and order statuses accordingly. See [Return basics](https://docs.digitalriver.com/digital-river-api/order-management/returns-and-refunds-1/returns) for more information.
